We're Getting Married!

Getting to "I Do" has been such an incredible journey of love, growth, and fun! However, Ashley almost missed out on the great gift from God known as Mr. Robert Pernell. Thank goodness for his persistence! At least that's what he always says when we tell our love story. Rob, being the perfect gentlemen coordinated our first date. The date was traditional, and we chatted over Mexican food and finished with dessert. However, it was unclear at first sight that our paths would lead us to marriage. In fact a few days after our initial date, Ashley received news from her doctor which would require additional testing. It was at this point, that Rob's true intentions shined. While Ashley backed away to focus on her health, Rob offered to stay by her side. She declined. Duoh! Thank goodness the story didn't end there. Rob, began praying independently for Ashley daily, and reached back out to her on the day of her biopsy results. To the glory of God her test results came back perfect! With so much to celebrate, Rob and Ashley went on a second date for ice cream. Two days later they went out for ice cream again, and talked for nearly four hours. Another day passed and a third ice cream date was in the books! Before you know it they never looked back.
